2.24 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a stone that answers both the heart and the eye, you want clarity in choice, certainty in quality, and a gem that will stop the search. This 2.24 carat radiant shape pinkish purple sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is precisely the solution that fulfills those needs, it offers a rare combination of size, color and craftsmanship that suits both an engagement ring destined to become an heirloom, and a collector looking for a unique addition to a curated collection. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that carat weight matters in more ways than just visual presence, it represents scarcity, market value and the practical considerations of everyday wear. A 2.24 carat stone sits in the sweet spot between statement and wearability, large enough to command attention on the finger, and balanced enough to be comfortable and secure in a variety of settings, making it the perfect center for someone who wants a meaningful, wearable piece that will be treasured for decades.

A closer look at the gem confirms that this is not simply a choice of size, but a choice of premium quality. Weighing 2.24 carats, the sapphire measures 8.48 by 7.01 by 4.34 millimeters, a proportion that displays the stone beautifully without appearing bulky. The radiant cut has been expertly executed to maximize fire and brilliance, the faceting pattern creating a scintillating play of light that complements the pinkish purple hue. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural character under magnification, a desirable trait for connoisseurs who prefer natural gemstones with minimal interventions. The polish is excellent, giving the pavilion and crown a smooth reflective finish that enhances sparkle and allows the vivid color intensity to sing. These combined attributes, carat weight, cut, clarity and polish, mark this sapphire as a premium gem ready for a discerning owner.

What elevates this sapphire further is its origin and treatment history. From Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source with a long and celebrated history for producing sapphires of exceptional color and clarity, this stone carries provenance that collectors and buyers respect. Importantly, the sapphire has no enhancement, which means the color and clarity are entirely natural, a feature that many buyers seek when looking for authenticity and long term value. The vivid color intensity in a pinkish purple tone is uncommon and highly sought after, making this gem particularly special for someone who wants a distinctive color that remains versatile and elegant. For an engagement ring, the tone flatters a wide range of metals and skin tones, from warm yellow gold to cool platinum, and the radiant cut adapts well to classic four prong settings, halo designs that emphasize brilliance, and contemporary bezel styles that emphasize modern lines. For a collector, the combination of 2.24 carats, vivid color, and untreated origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka represents an investment in natural beauty and rarity that stands out in any collection.
